Montel Williams is getting his own national radio show through a multi-year deal with Air America Radio. The program, Montel Across America, is slated to debut weekdays 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET.

Williams’ new show will take the time period currently occupied by The Lionel Show. A new show hosted by Lionel (aka, Michael Lebron) is currently in development.

In the early stages of marketing the show to stations, AAM declined to name any clearances.
“There’s a strong amount of interest,” said Bill Hess, senior vp of programming for AAM.

For 17 years, Williams was host and executive producer of The Montel Williams Show, one of the longest running daytime Talk shows in TV.
